No Sleep

Sleep? What's sleep? It's been so long that I honestly can't remember what it even feels like. Not only do I have two jobs (yes, I got a second job on top of my first) but I've been working on animating a music video every minute outside of that... Literally every minute. I even took my laptop with me to Colorado on vacation. Oh... Colorado. Don't even get me started on that sleepless weekend. All night driving, from sunset to sunrise between a graduation in Orem, Utah Friday and a graduation in Colorado Springs Saturday.

I know my last post optimistically said I'd be done with the video soon. But I was clearly delusional at the time... maybe I was on a high from getting the gig. Reality had me working 60 hours a week on it on top of everything else. I finished it last night...well, this morning... at 4:00 AM. Fell asleep by 5:00 AM and awoke at 9:00 AM just to come down here to the coffeehouse and try to send the completed video file to Jeff. Well, an hour has passed and the video is 30% uploaded... I'm supposed to be at work in 5 minutes.

I guess I'll wake up Brian and tell him to come down here and wait with this computer while the video uploads so he can send it for me. I mean, if I don't get to sleep why should he?

Who is Joaquin?

My real name is Jack. Joaquin the Chihuahua is sort of my blogging alter-ego. I'm just a goofy-looking guy in my (late) 20s, married to the man of my dreams, working at a jewelry store, and trying to find a job where I can use my English Degree. I hope you enjoy reading my blog. And if not, it's no skin off my nose. Go read something else then.

What's New with Joaquin?

I've completed my last semester at UVU! My BA in English should arrive in the mail any day and I couldn't be happier. I've also started an internship with Wallaroo Media in downtown Provo learning content writing and social media. I'm also trying to start up a queer literary journal in Utah called Peculiar with a friend.
